Citi sticks out hand give me just $10 billion more oh please

Citigroup Inc. (C) may need to raise as much as $10 billion in new capital, according to people familiar with the matter, as the government continues negotiations with banks over the results of its so-called stress tests.

The bank, like many others, is negotiating with the Federal Reserve and may need less if regulators accept the bank's arguments about its financial health, these people said. In a best-case scenario, Citigroup could wind up having a roughly $500 million cushion above what the government is requiring.

Disclosure None, I wouldn't buy Citi with your money!

Bank stress test results delayed Until May 7th

Wall Street will have to wait until May 7 to find about how 19 big banks did on the stress tests as regulators push back release of results by three days.

Regulators have delayed releasing the results of stress tests conducted on the nation's largest banks until May 7, government officials familiar with the matter said Friday.

The government expects to release its assessment next Thursday afternoon and will provide information both on individual companies as well as the overall group, according to sources.

For weeks, Wall Street has been anxiously awaiting the results of the tests, which regulators originally indicated would be announced on May 4.

So park the truck, crack open a beer and pop a squat we waiting even longer.
